The present invention provides a method for purifying chlorinated hydrocarbon(s), comprising cooling a mixture containing hydrogen fluoride and at least one chlorinated hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, 2,3-dichloro-3,3-difluoropropene, 1,2,3-trichloro-1,1-difluoropropane, and 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane to cause liquid-liquid separation of the mixture into an upper liquid phase having a high hydrogen fluoride concentration and a lower liquid phase having a high chlorinated hydrocarbon concentration, and a method for purifying a chlorinated hydrocarbon, comprising subjecting the lower liquid phase obtained by the liquid-liquid separation to a distillation operation. According to the present invention, a chlorinated hydrocarbon can be purified by separating and removing hydrogen fluoride from a chlorinated hydrocarbon-hydrogen fluoride mixture under simple and economically advantageous conditions.
